Electronic Written, Aural, & Visual Expressions (E-

WAVE): Students' Compositions/Teachers' Pedagogies


In March 2007 at the CCCC, (~14) teacher/student teams will present
assignments and the mulimodal student work that resulted. During our
poster sessions participants will have a chance to ask questions about
assessment, course content, access levels, support, IP,
and sustainability.

It is our contention that the visceral experience of seeing, hearing, and
interacting with students and student media often convinces hard-
pressed teachers that media-rich assignments provide communicative
affordances that appeal, engage, and captivate many 21st century students.

The extended descriptions and attached files for each team are linked in
